Plated heavily, with the emphasis on heavy.

 

Nice shine on that 50+ yo circulated coin
Plated, maybe nickel so no tarnish/toning

 

Something is just not right. Send it in to a TPG and have it graded and slabbed, then show us the coin in the slab with the label.

 

Definitely Plated. No more pictures needed.

 

If your scale is reporting negative weights, you probably need to take another pass through the instruction sheet.

That's a plated coin.

 

That's not a silver quarter. Not even a chance.

 

But, the real deal is there, just like the math is there. Where is there you ask? I'm sure he could find it with both hands tied behind his back.

 

Okay grain scale triple beam, it needs those pennies to 0 it out, count the pennies!
1965 90% Silver Planchet Error. Weight
6.25 grams. Also has a few strike errors on it because of being silver and not
cupro-nickel you can check the underneath the 1 in 1965 and also the top on the edge above the L and Y
So appraisal?

 

Triple beam 6.25

 

Cupro-nickel on triple beam

 

It does have some tarnish toning, the lights I use are special bulbs which are why things look off color I have keratoconus and all spectrums of heterochromia so I have to use Edison bulbs and wear sunglasses all the time I'm sorry if I post out of focus pictures (this is why my videos shift focus so much)
The coin is real, I just want to get some appraisals printed out so a relative doesn't put it in a washing machine or something When I do go blind.
Chances of finding that coin are like 0.000000014% I get that, those are my real eyes what's the % there? It happens some people's grandpa's leave them rare coins.

 

Sir you should weigh things in the negative that's how a triple beam works.... Just because you set something on a digital scale and hope it's on I use proper weights like they did 100s of years ago so yes I tare my scales out like your suppose to and I know the scale is on even If it's off I know how to use basic addition and subtraction.

If my coin is plated that's some heavy metal

 

Sorry to hear about your vision problems.

Please find a coin shop or jeweler that has an XRF instrument and remove all doubt. Then post the results here.

 

Like I said do the math it's there. You didn't even make an attempt you went 0.25oz equals 7.xxxxx grams pffftt . My math isn't off you just didn't apply yourself, I deal in gemstones. So .2 grams can cost a few thousand dollars in my profession. I shouldn't have to show you this math I asked for an appraisal do something productive go do something besides troll.
BTW you just got a math lesson from a guy with brain damage. Seriously Apply Yourself.
The little bit of missing equation is the bag weight so don't be pedantic.

 

If you don't have a proper scale, take it to someone who does. Jewelers, coin dealers, re-loaders, you must know someone.

 

I'm still trying to figure out how you're using your scale and balance. Why don't you:

* Use the tare function for it to read 0
* Weigh the coin
* Read the weight

No need to mess with negative weights, adding coins, etc. If the tare function doesn't work, there could be other issues with the scale and I would not use it.

It also appears that your scale only Has resolution to 0.01 ounces. This equals 0.28 grams, so anything you weigh can be off by this amount. You would want better resolution (a min of 0.1 gms, preferably0.01 gms)to accurately weigh coins.

Finally, check your significant figures in your calculations. You can't include all those numbers behind the decimal point. Your scale doesn't have the accuracy to claim all those digits are meaningful. (special thanks to Dr Bentz, my freshman chemistry professor for teaching the importance of significant figures)

 

An appraisal from a group online is worth nothing. To appraise something, a person needs to be an expert in an area and actually see and evaluate the item in person. They then write out an official appraisal that can be used for insurance purposes, etc. Saying "someone online told me it was worth a bunch" isn't good for anything.

 

The photo below shows copper in the recesses of the reeding.
It's a plated quarter.

 

For $15 you can get a scale that weighs to .01 gram delivered to your home. a very small investment for a coin that if it was genuine, would be thousands. However in your case, you will end up with a scale that works properly and a plated quarter. Also, kudos on the mathematic gymnastics to come up with your desired answer.
